So we meet again, FAKKU...
Me and my brother made plans aprox. 5 months ago for a 10-day trip to Japan, my first international trip(his ~5th). The date was set to just over two weeks from today... naturally, the excitement grows.
We're staying the first half in/near Tokyo, then taking the train to Kyoto for the second half. We both got the JR rail pass, so we'll probably head to different areas throughout the trip.
Now, I was simply curious as to whether or not anyone had a few suggestions on things I should check out while I'm there.
While I have a few plans already laid-out, there's so much shit to do that I don't even know about, it would be foolish not to ask.
Also, I just recently bought a new $200 camera with this trip in mind. If any interest is shown in the matter, I'll be sure to take/post a few pictures in Fakku's honor.

Oooooooo, I do very much like the changes made to profiles.
Equally as epic as the new hentai. Thank you as always, Jacob

Apparently "porn" will give no results. None.Also, vagina and penis give alternate search ideas.
They say it's for the kiddies.
Interesting find there. You actually have to hit enter when typing in questionable(dirty, crudely sexual, racist) words.

I don't want to see all the 6 million possibilities - only the one I want. Ahh yes, Bing's one and only selling-point. Sadly, however, mind reading has not yet been fully implemented into HTML... so the best Google, or any search engine for that matter- claiming otherwise or not- can do is give their best estimate as to what it is you are attempting to locate.
Rest assured though, once browsers support mind reading abilities to the general public, I'll make another thread about it.
The main difference is that Google simply offers you the option to look through Ever. Single. Fucking. Search result, and scales them from most to least likely.
It's not dumping 12 million possibly relevant results on your lap and saying "Find it yourself."
Personally, a good percentage of the time I have an idea of what it is I'm looking for, simply not the means to locate it. As such, I don't need something giving me a short list of what I'm 'probably' looking for, and blocking everything else. Rather than letting me pick what it is I know I want from a list of everything.
Who the hell goes past page 3 very often, anyway? If you do, you're doing it wrong.
Also,

That is why I love Google. They do shit you didn't even know you wanted until they dropped it at your feet, and backed away slowly.

To my understanding, the goal at hand is to fap ones way through 16 pages(either in the Recent Manga or the Home Page) in two hours.
And for that, I salute you.
...then proceed to shuffle away.

Linux is a feral beast waiting to tear off any and everyone's face whom are not worthy of its use.
I can agree, hands down, Linux offers the most freedom(some might argue too much freedom) and ability- however you can just as easily wipe your HD as you can power down.
Therefor- not for the faint of heart.
Agreed, Imnotyourdude. It is confusing as to what it is people claim to dislike about Google... It's not like they're destroying the rain forests, consuming our water/gasoline supplies, polluting the atmosphere, or spamming its consumers with crap they don't want...
Rather, Google is like a butler. A very skilled butler.
Any schmuck can do what you tell them to. An experienced man-servant, however, knows exactly how you like your morning coffee(or lack there of), when you arrive home from work to greet you properly, and how best to identify and deal with your unwanted/wanted calls & visitors.
To best serve you, it must know you.
Though if you just want a schmuck you can tell what to do: a skilled butler can just as easily do that as well.

So much Google hate. It is futile to resist the inevitable greatness of the capital G.
Fine then! Go back to your overly simplified, limiting, and controlling Bing, or the already dead Ask.com!

The best thing in the world,
just got better.
http://www.google.com/ -- start to search for something, anything.
Your mind will be blown

Stem cell research is already heavily underway in a number of countries, and has been for years. Whether 'pro-life' activist(AKA hypocrites) like it or not.
It's only a shame that they delay that research. How many lives will be lost as a result...

I fall into the elite group of 'very much atheist'
For the most part, I can easily ignore most cults(as every religious is one) and their pathetic, unintelligent teachings on divine salvation and what have you. To everyone their own- I've no problem with personal beliefs.
HOWEVER, should those 'personal' beliefs start to effect me, than I most certainly have a problem with them.
If an atheist went door-to-door, spreading the word of evaluation: how many people would be terribly insulted, or worse? Yet, how is it any different than the dude filled with the 'Holy Spirit' that wants to tell you ALL about Jesus as he masturbates to the bible? At the very least people offer him a glass of water...
It's just fucking hypocritical... But, slight off topic- my apologies.

I would like to die bleeding to death in a hospital waiting room because I don't have insurance. If for no other reason than to make a point out of the irony.
...asides from that, I'm making plans on simply not dying.

I often deduce events, questions, and reactions in my head- rather than actually verbally voice them. This makes me a terrible person for small talk, because in all likelihood I've already come to the most probable conclusions on my own- or simply don't care enough to ask... As a side effect, I suppose some might consider me to be rude, due to not making much attempt to continue, or make conversation.

The most perfectly wonderful, deeply motivating, awesomely crafted, unquestionably unique, instantly recognizable, ultimately bitchin' blue you've ever laid eyes on.
Sadly, however, I'm often squinting, so few can claim to agree with me...

Holy SHIT: that is easily the best H-vid I've seen this year. A fantastic translation for a truly fantastic video. Big thanks, guys. Big thanks indeed.
